Casual, bottle-driven winegarden (think: beer garden-style service, but with wine), with three garden patios, reimagined dinner party fare, and a fun and affordable wine list. Sister spot to Michelin-honored Royal, we’re basically your favorite casual-yet-chic, backyard wine bar. Chilled wine, good eats, sunny vibes.
“Had a delightful time here. the staff was friendly, the food was great, and the drinks were wonderful. I got the taco and house margarita during a happy hour and the taco was massive! we also got the queso and taquitos which were good as well.”
“Came here the other day and was seated on the back patio, which was super cute. Was still a little chilly even with the heaters, but it’s winter, so whatever. Food was great, and awesome prices, especially off the happy hour menu. Loved the fries (what is in that special sauce??), corn fritters, and grilled cheese and tomato soup. Two main complaints: the first is that there’s not really waitstaff — you order on your phone and no one comes to check on you, which is pretty unusual. But nice if you don’t like to be bothered when you eat! The second is petty, but they were blasting awful 2010’s pop the whole dinner which totally killed the vibe. The patio is super sweet, nice ambient lighting, you’re enjoying a lovely dinner date… and then Firework by Katy Perry is bumpin in the background. Not the vibe :/”
“We came here for brunch and were not disappointed. The fries are delicious and perfect to share with the table. They have lots of festive cocktails right now and even a Christmas tree of shots you can order. Very cute place to visit around the holidays.”
“Came this past weekend to experience the winter garden. The food and drinks were okay, the shotmas tree was cute. Definitely expensive for the product you get. The heated patio isn’t really heated well either, but they have thin blankets to help. The staff could be more friendly too. Overall could use improvement but not a bad experience.”
“It is a very beautiful patio where u can enjoy ur company, until the dirty plates start to stack up because they wont take a singular one out your way and neither will they with the empty glasses. Cocktails were mid. I ordered a chicken sandwich (im intolerant to spicy food) and this said to be the only one not spicy. Food came, my mouth on fire. I started eating and my friends said, ur paying for it so just give it back and they can remake it. No one came to check on us at all so i had to wave a server. She took it back and my second one came 30 minutes later after my friends were all literally done. I tried talking at the front door to see if they would comp the sadwich after all and they said “no, it took 15 minutes” giving a very bad attitude. I tried paying and it automatically charges you 25% grat unless u hit “change”, when u dont actually have a server, u order thu an app. Absolutely insane”
